Chapter 78: Rock Sugar Gourd
After comforting Cui's for a while, Cheng Yanjin asked his subordinates to find Cheng Chumo.
And Cheng Biting Jin is so fanfare, if he wants to stand in line like this, it's not that he wants more power, he just wants his son to take fewer detours, so that his Cheng family can better pass it on.
As for why Cheng Yanjin concluded the matter of the crown prince so much, it was completely from him, in the past few days, he inadvertently learned from Li Shimin that Li Chengqian was training the new army, and this alone made the usual court hob meat, determined to seize this opportunity, after all, a prince who can control the army, or when the emperor is in the prime of life, all of this shows that the prince must be the future emperor, otherwise the emperor will not allow it.
"Dad, what are you looking for me, I'm a good practitioner of martial arts in the orthodox church" Cheng Chumo came to the lobby, looked at his father, and said, and glanced at his wife from time to time, wanting to know what was going on, hoping that his mother could give some hints.
"Don't look at your mother, I ask you, you have been looking for a long time, the little lady of the Mo family has not" Seeing that his son kept casting inquiring eyes like his wife, Cheng Yanjin glared at him and asked directly.
"You say, Fluttershy's house, yes, I gave her mother yesterday and sent ginseng over" Hearing his father ask Fluttershy about it, Cheng Chumo immediately came to his senses.
"Well, Daddy asks you what you would think if you were to marry that Fluttershy, and talk to me about "Seeing his son like this, as a past man and his father, he knows that his stupid boy is tempted."
"Ah, I can marry Fluttershy, that's true, Dad, you were right to marry, not take a concubine?" Hearing his father's words, Cheng Chumo was stunned for a moment, and then looked at his father incredulously.
"Silly boy, what are you happy about, I agreed, but the little lady of the Mo family, whether to marry you or not, it may not be ......"
"How is it possible, I'm going to tell Fluttershy the news" Cheng Chumo said happily before his dad could finish speaking, and ran out in a hurry.
"Master, why don't you stop Mo'er, if he goes like this, he may suffer, and didn't you say that you want to see the Mo family's personality? You won't let Mo'er go......" Speaking of this, Cui's face was full of incredulity, looking at Cheng Yanjin.
"That's what it means, let this stupid boy go to find out how to talk and behave, okay, don't worry, even if there is something, there is Cheng Chong in them, he will be fine, now I will take you to the Royal Restaurant to have a good meal, the chef in this house is really not good, it seems that we have to find a way to send our chef to the East Palace to study, otherwise if you want to eat something good in the future, you will have to go to the Royal Restaurant" After speaking, Cheng Yanjin took Cui's out of the door.
And on the street of Dongshi, Li Chengqian took Xiao Yi'er and Li Su, two little guys, shopping here, looking at that, and having fun.
I didn't know that Cheng Yanjin was calculating himself, and he wanted his cook to go to the East Palace for further study, and there were not a few people who had such thoughts.
Li Chengqian would be very happy if he knew about this, as long as they had that idea, he could build a cooking school, specially recruit some cooks from the princes and ministers, let Liu Hai teach them to cook, and collect a lot of money when the time comes, and let them be grateful to themselves, and even be proud of having a cook who has learned in a cooking school...... Wait for the wrong thing, it's to learn cooking, and then go to New Oriental......
"Brother, are we going back? Xiao Yi'er hasn't had enough of it!! Xiao Yi'er took her brother's hand, kept shaking, and coquettishly, Li Su also looked at him with the same reluctant gaze.
"That's not good, my brother has bought everything he wants to buy, let's go back early, otherwise it will be too late to go back, and the rock sugar gourd can't be made, so Xiao Yi'er can't blame my brother" Seeing Xiao Yi'er like this, Li Chengqian squatted down and said to Xiao Yi'er gently.
It turned out that before, when they were shopping, Li Chengqian saw an old man who sold fresh hawthorns, so he wanted to make some rock sugar gourds for the little girls, and now he has bought all the things he wants to buy, and the time is not early, if he doesn't go back now, he is afraid that the soap will not be able to get it today, and the surprise for the little girl will be in vain, after all, he will go back to the barracks in the evening.
In the end, he said that after adding the temptation of rock sugar gourd, he asked the two little guys to go back with him obediently.
But even so, Xiao Yi'er and Li Su kept asking along the way, is the rock sugar gourd really delicious? Whether it is sweet, or just a little sweet, rock sugar gourd, whether it has to be iced to say and other strange questions, but Li Chengqian still has to patiently tell them about it, so that in the end, the two little guys are very much looking forward to the rock sugar gourd, and they can't wait to eat it on the spot, and they urge the coachman to hurry up from time to time.
As soon as she returned to the East Palace, Xiao Yi'er hurriedly urged her brother to make a delicious rock sugar gourd for her, and she took Li Su's hand and went to Li Wei and them to tell them the news.
For Xiao Yi'er like this, Li Chengqian looked at the figure of the two little guys running away on their little short legs, shook his head helplessly, and led people to the kitchen.
Came to the kitchen, watching Liu Hai training the chefs of the restaurant to make new dishes, Li Chengqian called him over, and asked him to prepare the syrup honey and lard to be used in the rock sugar gourd, Li Chengqian added a small amount of lard to the hot pot, after burning, poured in the caramel and honey, and boiled it into a syrup over low heat, it was better to use white sugar and vegetable oil, after all, animal oil has a little fishy smell, and there is nothing to cook at ordinary times, but to make this kind of sweet food, it will more or less affect the taste, in fact, you can also add oil and water. But Li Chengqian was afraid that if he didn't operate well, the syrup would splash and burn himself, which would be a tragedy, so he chose the safest way, and as for teaching bangs in the future, he didn't care if it was hot or not.
Wait for the syrup to boil and let it cool a little, Li Chengqian took it, and has let people remove the hawthorn that has been washed and skewered together, and the fruit skewers made of some fruits, and wrapped it in the syrup skillfully, so that the hawthorn is evenly wrapped in syrup, and put it on the plate on the side, after making more than a dozen skewers, Li Chengqian asked the bangs standing on the side to learn his own movements and make rock sugar gourds, and he stood aside to guide, until the bangs can boil the syrup by themselves and wrap the syrup, Li Chengqian took a string of rock sugar gourds that had been cooled and took a bite.
"This rock sugar gourd with wild honey tastes good, but this honey is too little to eat often, but it is not enough without sweetness, now I can only hope that people who go to Lingnan can find sugar cane soon" After Li Chengqian took a bite, he felt good, at least it tasted similar to what he had eaten in his previous life, and even a little more delicious.
